Biere du Maison  |  3 / 4.5 / 7

Inspired by one of our favorite beers ever from a certain Portland, ME brewery. We haven’t made this one since the Spring of 2017, one of our first handful of beers after opening. Hoppy blonde ale brewed with a simple base of one of our favorite pilsner malts along with a bit of French aromatic malt. Hopped prudently with Czech Saaz and German Tettnang and then fermented with a choice expressive Belgian yeast strain. Spicy muscat grapes on the nose, light bready malt in flavor with hints of kiwi, lemon balm, cracked white white peppercorns, and an ultra refreshing dry finish. 5% abv

Dark Matter Indicator  |  3 / 4.5 / 7

Smoked Porter brewed with German beechwood smoked malt, along with a handful of specialty dark malts. Lean and clean with notes of backyard BBQ’s, blazing bonfires on the beach, and faint whisps of bittersweet
cacao. 4.8% abv

Cuvée de Bancroft  |  4 / 7

A fun experiment in how switching one or two ingredients in a beer can drastically transform the profile of a beer. Brewed with the same grist of 2-row and Maris Otter as our beloved house beer, Bancroft Beer, but hopped with aged East kent Goldings in the kettle. We then pitched our RAF mixed culture blend, and allowed it to ferment and condition for 3 months before being dry hopped with fresh East Kent Goldings. The result is a completely unique experience compared to regular Bancroft Beer.  A bright lemony citric punch up front which lends way to delicate earthy malt with a bone dry finish shaped by our classic minerality. 5.5% abv

Silver Wind  |  3 / 4.5 / 7

IPA brewed with domestic 2-row and white wheat malts. Hopped in the mash with a bunch of Amarillo and then in the kettle with Simcoe. Fermented with our house ale strain and then heavily dry hopped entirely with Simcoe. Big citrus, lightly tropical, with hints of Apricot preserves. 6% abv

Cerveza Norteña  |  3 / 4.5 / 7

Our South Philly gringo version of a Mexican-style lager. Brewed with pilsner malt and 30% corn. Hopped delicately with a blend of German Spalt Select and NZ Nelson Sauvin. Fermented low and slow with our favorite bottom fermenting yeast and then lagered long and cold for that beautiful crispy bite and bright unfiltered clarity. Norteña refers to both the term for Northerners or people of the North, a type of music popular in Northern Mexico which derives much of its style from German Polka music. A wonderful blend of cultural influences, just like this beer. We recommend adding a lime! 5% abv

Tractor Beer  |  3 / 4.5 / 7

Hoppy American Pale Lager brewed exclusively for the Second District Brew Farm (but we saved a little for you to try here). Built off of domestic Pilsner and Vienna malts. Brightly golden hued with a light toasty malt profile and a snappy bite in the finish contributed by Amarillo and Tettnang hops. Perfect for that late Summer afternoon tractor ride. 5% abv.

Mild is Forever  |  2.5 / 4 / 6

Are you feeling Mild? Brewed with our old pals from Forest & Main (Ambler, PA). We made this one up with a “Spring” dark mild in mind. Brewed with Maris Otter’s Spring barley counterpart, Golden Promise, along with pale chocolate and caramunich malts. Hopped with English East Kent Goldings. Beautifully chestnut hued with rich notes of mixed nut bowls, chocolate covered malted milk balls, Nutella, faint whisps of Tootsie Rolls and a dash of spiced fruit cake. Clean Tetley’s sun tea in the finish. Eminently crushable at 3.9% abv. 

SIX (750mL bottle)  |  22

Sixth Anniversary blend of three barrels of Saison Ambre brewed in late 2020 from a simple base of German Pilsner malt with a dash of English chocolate malt. Hopped intently with aged Old World varietals. Fermented with our RAF mixed culture and aged in stainless for 9 months before being transferred over to oak wine barrels which previously held our PA Framboise, and then aged for another 18 months. The resulting blend is deep and complex, an almost gueuze-like aroma filled with persimmon and over ripe stone fruit. The flavor follows suite with layers of Autumnal petrichor and damp forest floor, antique wooden spice cubbards, tart cherries and apricots, followed up by a classic clean 2D minerality in the finish. 6.5% abv. We’re really excited to share this year’s blend with you!
